Like other homeostatic systems, the mechanism responsible for core temperature regulation involves a specific brain region that communicates with the rest of the body, in this case, via the autonomic ...

We describe a model of energy homeostasis to better understand neuronal pathways that control energy balance and their regulation by hormonal signals such as insulin and leptin. Catabolic neuronal ...

Homeostasis is the critical biological process through which the constant regulation of biochemical signals and functions is achieved at equilibrium. The most important functions in humans for ...

The model proposed here is not intended to explain how obesity occurs. Rather, the intent is to better understand the apparent bias of the energy homeostasis system in favor of weight gain. This ...
